[. . . ] MIC2200 Users Manual Version 1. 2 March 2001 ULTRAGAIN PRO ® www. behringer. com ENGLISH ULTRAGAIN PRO MIC2200 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not remove the cover (or back). No user serviceable parts inside; refer servicing to qualified personnel. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture. This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage inside the enclosure - voltage that may be sufficient to constitute a risk of shock. This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to important operating and maintenance instructions in the accompanying literature. [. . . ] The operational amplifiers NJM4580 which are used in the ULTRAGAIN PRO, are exceptional. They boast extreme linearity and very low distortion characteristics. To complement this design the choice of components includes high tolerance resistors and capacitors, detent potentiometers and several other stringently selected elements. For the first time, the ULTRAGAIN PRO MIC2200 uses SMD technology (Surface Mounted Device). These sub-miniature components known from aerospace technology allow for an extreme packing density, plus the units reliability could be improved. Additionally, the unit is manufactured in compliance with a ISO9000 certified management system. 2. 2 Inputs and outputs 2. 2. 1 Balanced inputs and outputs As standard, the BEHRINGER ULTRAGAIN PRO is installed with electronically servo-balanced inputs and outputs. The new circuit design features automatic hum and noise reduction for balanced signals and thus allows for trouble-free operation, even at high operating levels. The automatic servo-function recognizes the presence of unbalanced connectors and adjusts the nominal level internally to avoid level differences between the input and output signals (correction 6 dB). 3. INSTALLATION Your BEHRINGER ULTRAGAIN PRO was carefully packed in the factory and the packaging was designed to protect the unit from rough handling. Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully examine the packaging and its contents for any signs of physical damage, which may have occurred in transit. + If the unit is damaged, please do not return it to us, but notify your dealer and the shipping company immediately, otherwise claims for damage or replacement may not be granted. Shipping claims must be made by the consignee. THE DESIGN CONCEPT 11 ULTRAGAIN PRO MIC2200 3. 1 Rack mounting The BEHRINGER ULTRAGAIN PRO fits into one standard 19" rack unit of space (1 3/4"). Please allow at least an additional 4" depth for the connectors on the back panel. Be sure that there is enough air space around the unit for cooling and please do not place the ULTRAGAIN PRO on high temperature devices such as power amplifiers etc. to avoid overheating. 3. 2 Mains voltage Before you connect your ULTRAGAIN PRO to the mains, please make sure that your local voltage matches the voltage required by the unit!The fuse holder on the female mains connector has 3 triangular markers, with two of these triangles opposing each other. Your ULTRAGAIN PRO is set to the operating voltage printed next to these markers, and can be set to another voltage by turning the fuse holder by 180°. CAUTION: this instruction does not apply to export models exclusively designed, e. g. for 115 V operation! + Please refer to the specifications for detailed information about specific voltage supplies! 3. 3 Audio connections The audio inputs and outputs on the BEHRINGER ULTRAGAIN PRO are fully balanced. If possible, connect the unit to other devices in a balanced configuration to allow for maximum interference immunity. + Please ensure that only qualified persons install and operate the ULTRAGAIN PRO. During installation and operation the user must have sufficient electrical contact to earth. Electrostatic charges might affect the operation of the ULTRAGAIN PRO!
